DC Budget Fight
Our D.C. community is under attack. Right now, anti-worker extremists are threatening to rip more than $1 billion of D.C.-taxpayer funds from our budget, all to deliver tax breaks to billionaires. We can’t let that happen.
Federal Workers
This regime of billionaires has attacked our jobs, our collective bargaining rights and the integrity of civil service. AFSCME is fighting back. We’re filing lawsuits to stop this assault on our freedoms and organizing to save our jobs.
